Fixed rough idle

Just the other day I pick up an IAC valve from the autoparts store for 90 bucks for my 2000 Expl 4.0L SOHC. Set aside couple hours thinking it was burried behind something.
So I popped the plastic engine cover off and there it was! Took the two bolts off, removed the plug and old seal. After inspecting the new and old one side by side, threw it in. Done in 10 min!
The car runs sooo much better now, pn start up, warm/cold idle and city driving.

Cleaning is another route...alot cheaper, but you're good to go for a long stretch.

As srecrcr said, I would keep the old one and clean it wth carb cleaner and q-tips. Nice to have a spare sometimes....
